from bulk, to mccain, to mitt romney. i was lucky enough to cover both conventions. i have to tell you, at the republican convention, it is a little disheartening because the average age of the delegate was almost dead. [laughter] and that is not a good sign for a party moving forward. fidel castro says we are throwing out our old economic model. and the president says, can we have it? and our debt past 100.3% of gdp. and you have a obama setting -- opa! i like the strong because it turned out perfectly. this is the tea party. this little girl looks a lot like sarah palin. and she is saying, drink it! [laughter] this was drawn -- michele bachmann had just won the straw vote. and he is looking down and he has a tramp stamp. dear lord, what did i do last weekend? [laughter] and this was when the republicans took the house back. and this does let the honeymoon commence. i love the look on his face. this is one of the things that drives me nuts. the new york city council just voted that he was right and they outlawed big drinks, the big gulp. and i have a very poplins dr

guest: i think both sides could agree the politics haven't gotten any more beautiful, that's for sure. with respect to the romney campaign and the thompson for senate campaign here, this is a campaign about the country's future. wisconsin we have lost just under 100,000 jobs under president obama. we talk about things that affect families, affect neighborhoods and health care and jobs, wisconsin really has suffered as much as almost any state with the loss of those jobs and the slowdown in economic activity. it's punishing the working people of this state. what i would say to you in general terms is that we need a better economy. we need to have more jobs. we need to have a better future. so everybody's future is going to get better when this economy gets back on its feet, and if not, 43 months of over 8% unemployment, that doesn't help working people, it doesn't help anybody. we have to turn that around. that's what governor romney is focused on. host: chris in alabama off twitter. he says, we have never had a less transparent presidential candidate. if yet he is positioned to win. f

virginia is an important swing state for both campaigns. here is some of what does the obama had to say. >> now we're 18 days out from election, mr. severely conservative wants you to think he was merely kidding about everything he said over the last year. he told folks he was the ideal candidate for the tea party. now he is saying, who, meet? --who, me? [laughter] he is betting that you will forget. he is changing up so much and back tracking and sidestepping. we have named this condition he is going through. i think it is called romnesia. that is what it is called. [cheers and applause] i am not a medical doctor, but i do want to go over some of the systems with you. i want to make sure no one else catches it. if you say you are free equal pay for equal work, but you keep refusing to say whether or not he would sign a bill to protect equal pay for equal work, you might have romnesia. if they use a women should have access to contraception, but to support legislation that would let their employers deny contraception, you might have a case
